Daniel, question for you and for the group. How tight are you fixing your forestay to the chain adjuster? I used to make the mistake when stepping the mast of getting that stay as tight as I could, thinking at the time that tighter was better. I was creating a mast rake of a few degrees forward. In retrospect I think that had the effect of perhaps giving me a little more pointing ability but added weather helm with it. And I think it compromised sailing off the wind. Jerry chime in, but I think the M15 was meant to be a "looser" rig, and I have noticed a little less weather helm since I got into the practice of not tightening up the forestay on the chain adjuster quite so much...just enough for a little "play". Sometimes I wish I did have a backstay, as I learned sailing with Dave on his boat that a little tightening on the backstay created some "bend" in the mast (not total angle from the tabernacle--just some bend near the top) that had a remarkable effect on reducing weather helm on the tiller. Not an easy mod to do on an M15 with the traveler in the way, so I don't expect I would try. Keep those videos coming, Doc! -Neil
